Arlington TX - Trash Cart storage... a request for cooperation...

Please support the City of Arlington's request to properly store both recycle and trash carts out of public view. This is a request from the city and all neighbors which in my opinion as a realtor makes all property as aesthetically pleasing as possible. 

City suggested cart placement locations and FAQ:


When your trash and recycling carts are not placed at the curb for scheduled collection, they must be stored out of public view. For example, the carts may be stored in the garage, behind a fence or in the backyard. (See circles in drawing above). If you have a special circumstance or do not have a place to store your cart, please contact our Code Compliance Department at code@arlingtontx.gov with questions.

Arlington TX - Trash Carts and once a week service - a big change for our neighbors.

Trash Cart update – as everyone knows, the 95-gallon trash carts will be delivered to all our homes in our SW Arlington neighborhood starting February 5th. Weekly cart service will begin February 15th with service for both green (65-gallon) and blue carts (95-gallon) being emptied each Thursday, once a week. 

Asking for everyone's cooperation... consider...

Cooperation between immediate neighbors will prove most helpful, for instance when one has more trash than the neighbor who has less can agree to an arrangement to load the excess into their neighbors’ cart. Another example can be during vacations getting your neighbor to move the cart out on trash day, and to return it after emptied.  Or worse one forgets to place it out trash day and by the next week yours is overflowing! So please understand and help your neighbors out!

Also, our elder neighbors may need help with moving the 95-gallon carts until the distribution of the blue lid handicapped carts are distributed to all our citizens in June. Apply with the city on line to get the blue lid trash cans, asap.
